44 Landscape and Irrigation April 2014 www.landscapeirrigation.com Aero-Flex 360AF Glider The patent-pending Aero-Flex 360AF Glider attaches below a trimmer's rotating head and allows the operator to rest the trimmer on the ground, "lifting" the trimmer weight from the operator, thus reducing fatigue and effort while adding maneuvering control. As a result, the operator can freely mow and trim in all directions while controlling its adjustable cutting height. The Aero-Flex 360AF Glider system is engineered with precision bearings, allowing the op- erator to glide the multi-use tool (without skidding) on the grass surface by isolating the rotating head from ground contact. Bearings within the design eliminate the undesirable loss of control, as well as head abrasion wear, from ground contact. The Aero-Flex 360AF Glider attachment makes an ideal trimming and mowing tool for small residen- tial plots, or where precision contour mowing is commercially required. Atom professional edger The Atom professional edger is a shaft-driven, wheel-barrow-style, walk-behind, multiple-use machine known for speed, safety and versatility. Since the weight of the machine is balanced on the forward single wheel, it is very lightweight for the operator. The shaft drive allows for all of the power from the 35-cc Honda GX engine to be trans- ferred to the edger's 2 blades. The optional wire wheel brush blades make the Atom ideal for edging asphalt, pavers and bricks. CORE's Power Lok CORE's Power Lok utilizes the same proven Conductor Optimized Rotary Energy (CORE) technology used in its dedi- cated units, just in one comprehensive system that features a variety of interchangeable attachments, including a line and hedge trimmer. With the power cell and drive unit, the Power Lok line trimmer weighs 11 pounds and fea- tures a dual-line bump-feed head, housing 20 inches of .095-inch-diameter trimmer spool. The hedge trimmer attach- ment weighs 13 pounds and has a 22-inch blade length, which produces 3,200 strokes per minute. The product's drive unit instantaneously recognizes each attachment upon connection and communicates the necessary operational instructions to the powerful CORE motor. DR Trimmer Mower Backed by more than 25 years of continuing innovation, the DR Trimmer Mower is ideal for property maintenance. It allows the operator to makes crisp edges along fence lines, walls, gardens and flower beds without any back or arm strain. It also whips through waist-high grass and unsightly weeds before they get out of control. Optional blade at- tachments allow the operator to cut brush and brambles for a versatile trimming and edging tool. Walk-behind, self- propelled and PTO models are available. Echo SRM-266T trimmer The Echo SRM-266T trimmer boasts 50-percent more cutting torque than standard Echo trimmers, making it ideal for trimming and cutting in thick regional grasses and dense weeds. The SRM-266T features a powerful, smooth- running, 25.4-cc, professional-grade, 2-stroke engine. An engine vibration reduction system with padded handles in- creases operator comfort. Additional features include a 59-inch, 4-layer flex cable drive to provide additional strength in handling tough trimming and cutting applications, a 16.9-fluid-ounce see-through fuel tank for long run time, and a debris shield with a built-in cut-off knife for optimum line length. efco DS 2200 and DS 2400 Series line trimmers The DS 2200 and DS 2400 Series line trimmers from efco are among the lightest and most durable trimmers on the market.
